“Friday, Friday”…

(To the tune of The Mamas and the Papas famous: “Monday, Monday” track.)

Yes, like the rest of you, somehow I survived a freaking hectic week at work and actually made it to Friday! It’s been rough (particularly with my brain pretty much already on vacation) but I can’t wait to enjoy a quiet night at home tonight before all heck breaks loose as we all prepare to leave for Disney World mid-afternoon Sunday. I’ll probably get a couple of hours of Fire Emblem in if at all possible, but I’ve also still got so much great Disney comics reading to do that I’ll definitely be making it a point to do that as well. Like I said, I’ve still got a half-dozen issues of Uncle Scrooge and WDC&S calling, as well as the recent Walt Disney Treasure’s Uncle Scrooge: A Little Something Special TPB Volume, plus so many other Disney shorts and stories to catch up on that there’ll be no shortage of entertainment to enjoy throughout the evening.

I did finish up “The Lost Treasure of Cornelius Coot” (see Cornelius Coot in a recent post) by Byron Erickson as well as Noel Van Horn’s “Signs,” both from WDC&S #686 the other night. The latter features Mickey as he attempts to convince Goofy how silly it is to give in to superstition — only to find himself at the receiving end of it by stories end. It’s a hoot, and most guys will relate to the Mickey’s deep, dark, fear by the end of the story. The words “honey-do-list” should just about cover what that is. And the former was a great little story about Donald and the Nephews as they unravel the mystery of a lost treasure that good ‘ol Cornelius may have purposefully left behind for no one to find. Truly a case of one hand not wanting the other to know of his humble service to others. This story also gave us the chance to see that Junior Woodchuck’s Guidebook work its magic again, this time vs. the world wide web!

That book never ceases to amaze me.

These Gemstone collections really are treasures and I hope you’re picking them up where you can!
